SPANISH GRAMMAR PRACTICE
Preterite vs. Imperfect Practice
Practice choosing between the Spanish preterite and imperfect with 10 B2-level questions in context. After each answer, you’ll get immediate feedback explaining why the preterite or imperfect fits the story.
You’ve been talking to Álex for a few weeks, but neither of you has really said what’s going on. On Saturday night, you both end up at the same house party.
Follow the story, choose the verb form that fits each situation, and get an explanation after every answer.
Quick refresher: Use the preterite for completed events that move the story forward. Use the imperfect for background descriptions, ongoing states, and repeated actions.
Each question gives you two forms of the same verb: one preterite and one imperfect. Choose the form that fits the context best.
You’ll get feedback immediately — including why your answer works or why the other tense fits better.
